Adapted from a short story by Keith Laumer, this tale from Marvel's Worlds Unknown #2 (1973) has a kool "Twilight Zone" twist ending, but couldn't have been adapted for the show due to the crudeness of tv special effects work at the time.

OTOH, writer Gerry Conway, penciler Gil Kane, and inker Tom Sutton had no such constraints, and they do EC Comics' writers and artists proud with a tale that would have fit right in with Weird Science, Weird Fantasy, or the merged Weird Science-Fantasy books!

About Me

When I'm not out fighting crime, I work in the publishing industry, writing and designing everything from magazines to trading cards to comic books!In addition to my "day job", I'm creating and selling stuff based on classic pop culture images that I would buy if someone else offered it, but nobody else does (When was the last time you saw a Purple Claw or Rocket Kelly shirt?), so I have to do it myself!If you've landed here, you probably have at least one interest in common with me. Cool. Hopefully, you'll have a couple of laughs, learn a bit of trivia, and see something you've never seen before. When you're done, leave a comment, or better yet, tell your friends and then buy a magnet or something. Rocket Kelly's feeling decidedly unloved! ;-)
